.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Xdvi
is a program for previewing
.I dvi
files, as produced e.g. by the
.BR tex (1)
program, under the X window system.
.PP
.B Xdvi
can show the file shrunken by various
integer factors, and it has a ``magnifying glass'' for viewing
parts of the page enlarged (see the section MAGNIFIER below). This version
of
.B xdvi
is also referred to as
.B xdvik
since it uses the kpathsea library to locate and generate font files.
In addition to that, it supports the following features:
.RS 2
.TP 2
-
hyperlinks in DVI files (section HYPERLINKS),
.TP
-
#ift1
direct rendering of Postscript<tm> Type1 fonts (section T1LIB),
.TP
-
#endif
source specials in the DVI file (section SOURCE SPECIALS),
.TP
-
string search in DVI files (section STRING SEARCH),
.TP
-
saving or printing (parts of) the DVI file (sections PRINT DIALOG and SAVE DIALOG).
.RE
.PP
Xdvi can be compiled with the Motif toolkit or the Xaw (Athena) toolkit
(and variants of it), and the Motif version has a slightly different GUI;
these differences are noted below.
.PP
Before displaying a page of a DVI file,
.B xdvi
will check to see if the file has changed since the last time it was
displayed.  If this is the case, it will reload the file.  This
feature allows you to preview many versions of the same file while
running
.B xdvi
only once. Since it cannot read partial DVI files,
.B xdvik
versions starting from 22.74.3 will create a temporary copy of the
DVI file being viewed, to ensure that the file can be viewed without
interruptions. (The
.B \-notempfile
can be used to turn off this feature).
#ifps
.PP
.B Xdvi
can show PostScript<tm> specials by any of three methods.
It will try first to use Display PostScript<tm>, then NeWS, then it
will try to use Ghostscript to render the images.  All of these options
depend on additional software to work properly; moreover, some of them
may not be compiled into this copy of
.BR xdvi .
.PP
For performance reasons,
.B xdvi
does not render PostScript specials in the magnifying glass.
#endif
.PP
If no file name has been specified on the command line,
xdvi will try to open the most recently opened file; if the file
history (accessible via the
.B File > Open Recent
menu) is empty, or if none of the files in the history are valid DVI files,
it will pop up a file selector for choosing a file name.
(In previous versions, which didn't have a file history, the file selector
was always used; you can set the X resource
.B noFileArgUseHistory
to
.I false
to get back the old behaviour.)
.PP
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.SH OPTIONS
In addition to specifying the
.I dvi
file (with or without the
.B .dvi
extension),
.B xdvi
supports the following command line options.  If the option begins with a
.RB ` + '
instead of a
.RB ` \- ',
the option is restored to its default value.  By default, these options can
be set via the resource names given in parentheses in the description of
each option.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI + page
Specifies the first page to show.  If
.B +
is given without a number, the last page is assumed; the first page is
the default.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
#ifps
.TP
.B \-allowshell
.RB ( .allowShell )
This option enables the shell escape in PostScript specials.
(For security reasons, shell escapes are disabled by default.)
This option should be rarely used; in particular it should not be used just
to uncompress files: that function is done automatically if the file name
ends in
.BR .Z ,
.BR .gz ,
or
.BR .bz2 .
Shell escapes are always turned off if the
.B \-safer
option is used.
#endif
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-altfont " font"
.RB ( .altFont )
Declares a default font to use when the font in the
.I dvi
file cannot be found.  This is useful, for example, with PostScript <tm> fonts.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-background " color"
.RB ( .background )
Determines the color of the background.  Same as
.BR -bg .
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.\" .TP
.\" .BI \-bd " color"
.\" .RB ( .borderColor )
.\" Determines the color of the window border.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-bg " color"
.RB ( .background )
Determines the color of the background.
.\" .\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.\" .TP
.\" .BI \-bordercolor " color"
.\" Same as
.\" .BR -bd .
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-borderwidth " width"
.RB ( .borderWidth )
Specifies the width of the border of the window.  Same as
.BR -bw .
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-browser " browser"
.RB ( .wwwBrowser )
Defines the web browser used for handling external URLs. The value of this
option or resource has the same syntax as the
.B BROWSER
environment variable; see the explanation of that variable in the
section `ENVIRONMENT' below for a detailed description.
If neither the option nor the X resource
.I wwwBrowser
is specified, the environment variables
.B BROWSER
and
.B WWWBROWSER
(in that order) are used to determine the browser command. If these are
not set either, the following default value is used:
.SB netscape -raise -remote "openURL(%s,new-window)":xterm -e lynx %s:xterm -e wget %s
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-bw " width"
.RB ( .borderWidth )
Specifies the width of the border of the window.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
#ifgrey
.TP
.B \-copy
.RB ( .copy )
Always use the
.I copy
operation when writing characters to the display.
This option may be necessary for correct operation on a color display, but
overstrike characters will be incorrect.
If greyscale anti-aliasing is in use, the
.B \-copy
operation will disable the use of colorplanes and make overstrikes come
out incorrectly.
#endif
See also
.BR \-thorough .
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-cr " color"
.RB ( .cursorColor )
Determines the color of the mouse cursor.  The default is the same as
the foreground color.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-debug " bitmask|string[,string ...]"
.RB ( .debugLevel )
If nonzero, prints additional information on standard output.  The
argument can be either a bitmask specified as a decimal number, or
comma-separated list of strings.
.br
For the bitmask representation, multiple values can
be specified by adding the numbers that represent the individual bits;
e.g. to debug all all file searching and opening commands, use 4032
(= 2048 + 1024 + 512 + 256 + 128 + 64). Use -1 to turn on debugging
of everything (this will produce huge output).
.br
For the string representation, use the strings listed in the following
table, with a comma to separate the values; e.g. to debug
all file searching and opening commands, use
.BR search,expand,paths,hash,stat,open .
(The option `kpathsea' is provided as a shorthand for these.)
Note that such a list may need to be quoted to prevent the shell
from interpreting commas or spaces in the list.
.br
The individual numbers and strings have the following meanings:
.nf
.sp 1n
.ta 1L +8L +12L
	1	bitmap	Bitmap creation
	2	dvi	DVI translation
	4	pk	PK fonts
	8	batch	Batch mode: Exit after
			reading the DVI file
	16	event	Event handling
	32	ps	PostScript interpreter calls
	64	stat	Kpathsea stat(2) calls
	128	hash	Kpathsea hash table lookups
	256	open	Kpathsea file opening
	512	paths	Kpathsea path definitions
	1024	expand	Kpathsea path expansion
	2048	search	Kpathsea searching
	4032	kpathsea	All Kpathsea options 	
	4096	htex	Hypertex specials
	8192	src	Source specials		       
	16384	client	Client/server mode (see -unique
			and -sourceposition options)
	32768	t1	Type1 font library messages		       
	65536	t1_verbose	Verbose Type1 library messages   
	131072	gui	GUI elements
.sp 1n
.fi
Some of the Kpathsea debugging options are actually provided by Kpathsea;
see the Debugging section in the Kpathsea manual for more information on
these.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-density " density"
.RB ( .densityPercent )
Determines the density used when shrinking bitmaps for fonts.
A higher value produces a lighter font.  The default value is 40.
#ifgrey
If greyscaling is in use, this argument does not apply; use
.B \-gamma
instead.
#endif
See also the
.RB ` S '
keystroke.
Same as
.BR \-S .
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-display " host" : display
Specifies the host and screen to be used for displaying the
.I dvi
file.  By default this is obtained from the environment variable
.SB DISPLAY.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-dvipspath " path"
.RB ( .dvipsPath )
Use
.I path
as the
.B dvips
program to use when printing.  The default for this is
.BR dvips .
The program or script should read the DVI file from standard input,
and write the Postscript file to standard output.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-editor " editor"
.RB ( .editor )
Specifies the editor that will be invoked when the
.I source-special()
action is triggered to start a reverse search (by default via Ctrl-Mouse 1).
The argument to this option is a format string in which occurrences of
.RB `` %f ''
are replaced by the file name, occurrences of
.RB `` %l ''
are replaced by the line number within the file, and optional
occurrences of
.RB `` %c ''
are replaced by the column number within the line.
.sp
If neither the option nor the X resource
.I .editor
is specified, the following environment variables are checked
to determine the editor command:
.BR XEDITOR ,
.BR VISUAL ,
and
.B EDITOR 
(in this sequence). If the string is found as the value
of the
.SB VISUAL
or
.SB EDITOR
environment variables, then
.RI `` "xterm -e "''
is prepended to the string; if the editor is specified by other means, then
it must be in the form of a shell command to pop up an X window with an
editor in it. If none of these variables is set, a warning message is displayed
and the command
.RI `` "xterm -e vi +%l %f"''
is used.
.sp
If no
.RB `` %f ''
or
.RB `` %l ''
occurs in the string, the missing format strings are appended automatically.
(This is for compatibility with other programs when using one of the environment
variables).
.sp
A new instance of the editor is started each time this command is used;
therefore it is preferrable to use an editor that can be invoked in
`client' mode to load new files into the same instance. Example
settings are:
.RS 7
.TP 7
.SB emacsclient --no-wait
(older Emacsen)
.TP
.SB gnuclient -q
(XEmacs and newer Emacsen)
.TP
.SB gvim --servername xdvi --remote
(VIM v6.0+; the `--servername xdvi' option will cause gvim to run a
dedicated instance for the files opened by xdvi.)
.TP
.SB nc
(nedit)
.PP
.sp
Note that those strings need to be enclosed
into quotes when using them on the command-line
to protect them from the shell; when using them
as argument for the
.I .editor
resource in an X resource file, no quotes should be used.
.sp
.B NOTE ON SECURITY:
The argument of this option isn't executed as a shell command,
but via
.I exec()
to prevent evil tricks with the contents of source specials.
.RE
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.B \-expert
This option is only supported for backwards compatibility;
it is equivalent to
.BR "\-expertmode 0" ,
which should be preferred.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-expertmode " flag"
.RB ( .expertMode )
With an argument of
.IR 0 ,
this option switches off the display of the buttons, scrollbars,
the toolbar (Motif only),
the statusline and the page list. These GUI elements
can also be (de)activated separately, by combining the
appropriate values in the
.I flag
argument. This acts similar to the
.B \-debug
option: The integer
.I flag
is treated as a bitmap where each bit represents one
element. If the bit has the value
.IR 1 ,
the element is switched on, if it has the value
.IR 0 ,
the element is switched off. The meaning of the bits
is as follows:
.nf
.sp 1n
.ta 1L +8L +12L
	1	statusline
	2	scrollbars
	4	Motif: pagelist, Xaw: buttons and pagelist
	8	toolbar (Motif only)
	16	menubar (Motif only)
.sp 1n
.fi
For example, to turn on only the statusline and the scrollbars,
use 3 (= 1 + 2).
See also the
.RB ` x '
keystroke, where the bits are addressed by their positions, from 1 to
3 (Xaw) or 5 (Motif), respectively.
.PP
If the statusline is not active, all messages
that would normally be printed to the statusline will be printed to
.IR stdout ,
unless the
.B \-hushstdout
option is used.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.BI \-fg " color"
.RB ( .foreground )
Determines the color of the text (foreground).
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.B \-findstring\fP \fIstring\fP
This option triggers a search for
.I string
in the DVI file mentioned on the command-line, similar to forward search
(see the description of the
.B sourceposition
option):
If there is already another
instance of
.B xdvi
running on the displaying that DVI file, it will cause that instance
to perform the search instead. The search starts at the top of the current
page of the DVI file.

.BI \-fullscreen
When this option is used, xdvi will (try to) run in fullscreen mode, with
no window decorations.
This option is not guaranteed to work with all windowmanagers/desktops;
if you're experiencing problems with it, please use the
.B \-geometry
option instead, and a suitable window manager setting to remove
the window decorations.
When using this option for presentations, you might want
to get rid of all the control widgets as well, using the
.B -expertmode
option. This option can also be toggled at runtime using the
.B fullscreen
action (by default bound to Ctrl-l).
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
#ifgrey
.TP
.BI \-gamma " gamma"
.RB ( .gamma )
Controls the interpolation of colors in the greyscale anti-aliasing color
palette.  Default value is 1.0.  For 0 <
.I gamma
< 1, the fonts will be lighter (more like the background), and for
.I gamma
> 1, the fonts will be darker (more like the foreground).  Negative
values behave the same way, but use a slightly different algorithm.

.I alternative
to other actions that might follow them
.I if
the mouse is currently located on a hyperlink.
In this case, none of the other actions will be executed.
Otherwise,
.I only
the other actions are executed.
.br
The action
.B do-href()
jumps to the link target in the current xdvi
window (eventually switching to another page), and
.B do-href-newwindow()
opens a new instance of xdvi for the link target.
In both cases, the location of the target is
indicated by a small arrow drawn in the same color
as a visited link
in the left corner of the window.
.TP
.B Mouse-3
.RB [ magnifier(*3) ]
The actions
.B magnifier(n)
will pop up a ``magnifying glass'' which shows the unshrunk
image of the region around the mouse pointer.  The magnifier disappears when
the mouse button is released. Moving the mouse cursor while holding the button down will move the
magnifier.
.br
In \fB`Ruler Mode'\fR, the first button moves or sets a ruler cross instead;
see the section
.BR MODES ,
below, for details.
.br
Different mouse buttons produce different sized
windows, as indicated by the
the argument of the
.I magnifier()
action. Its argument is either a string of the form
.IR width x height ,
as in the
.BI \-mgs n
command-line option, or one of the strings
.B *1
through
.BR *5 ,
referring to the value specified by the corresponding

.SH CUSTOMIZATION
Key and mouse button assignments can be changed by setting the
.B mainTranslations
resource to a string of translations as defined in the documentation for the
X toolkit.  The actions should take the form of action names listed in the
KEYSTROKES and MOUSE ACTIONS sections.
.PP
An exception to this are the Motif keys
.IR osfPageUp " (" PgUp ),
.IR osfPageDown " (" PgDown ),
.IR osfBeginLine " (" Home )
and
.IR osfEndLine " (" End )
which are currently not customizable in the Motif version.
.PP
Key actions will usually be without arguments; if they are passed an argument,
it represents the optional number or `prefix argument' typed prior to the action.
.PP
Some key actions may take special arguments, as follows: The argument of
.B goto-page
may be the letter
.RB ` e ',
indicating the action of going to the end of the document.
The argument of
.B set-shrink-factor
may be the letter
.RB ` a ',
indicating that the shrink factor should be set to the smallest value such that
the page will fit in the window, or one of the signs
.RB ` + '
or
.RB ` - ',
indicating that the shrink factor should be increased or decreased, respectively.
Finally, actions that would perform a toggle, such as
.BR set-keep-flag ,
may receive an argument
.RB ` t ',
indicating that the action should toggle regardless of the current prefix argument.
.PP
Mouse actions should refer only to
.B ButtonPress
events (e.g.,
.BR "<Btn1Down>:magnifier(*1)" ).
The corresponding motion and release events will be handled internally.
A key action may be bound to a mouse event, but not vice versa.
.PP
Usually the string of translations should begin with
.RB `` #override '',
indicating that the default key and mouse button assignments should not
be discarded.
.PP
When keys or mouse buttons involving modifiers (such as Ctrl or Shift)
are customized together with their non-modified equivalents, the modified
keys should come first, for example:
.RS 5
.nf
.ft 3
.sp 1n
xdvi.mainTranslations: #override \e
Ctrl<Btn1Down>: magnifier(*3)\en\e
Shift<Btn1Down>: magnifier(*2)\en\e
<Btn1Down>: magnifier(*1)\en
.sp 1n
.ft
.fi
.RE
.PP
Note: The additional `Modes' for Mouse-1 (Ruler Mode, Text Mode - see
the section
.BR MODES )
only work if Mouse-1 has the magnifier() action bound to it.
.PP
Because
.B xdvi
needs to capture pointer motion events, and because the X Toolkit
translations mechanism cannot accommodate both motion events and double-click
events at the same time, it is not possible to specify double-click
actions in
.B xdvi
customizations.  For information on this and other aspects of translations,
see the X Toolkit Intrinsics documentation.
.PP
There is no command-line option to set the
.B mainTranslations
resource, since changing this resource on the command line would be cumbersome.
To set the resource for testing purposes, use the
.B -xrm
command-line option provided by the X toolkit.  For example,
\fBxdvi \-xrm 'XDvi.mainTranslations: #override "z":quit()' ...\fR
or
.B "xdvi \-xrm 'XDvi.mainTranslations: #override <Key>z:quit()' ..."
will cause the key
.RB ` z '
to quit
.BR xdvi .
.PP
Support of wheel mice is controlled by the
.B wheelTranslations
resource.  Generally the only action routine called by this resource should be
.BR wheel .
The default value is
``\fB<Btn4Down>:wheel(-1.)\en<Btn5Down>:wheel(1.)\fR''.
Because this resource is implemented differently from the others, it should
not begin with
.RB ``#override '';
when specifying a value for this resource, all wheel actions should be
included.

.SH HYPERLINKS
The actions
.B do-href()

on a hyperlink) can be used to open the link target in the same window
.RB ( do-href() )
or in a new window
.RB ( do-href-newwindow() ).
.PP
If the link target is not a file on the local disk,
xdvi tries to launch a web browser (as specified by the
.B -browser
command line option, the
.B BROWSER
environment variable or the
.B wwwBrowser
X resource, in this order) to retrieve the document. See the description
of the
.B BROWSER
environment variable, below, for an example setting.
.PP
If the file is a local file, xdvi tries to determine if it is a DVI
file. If it is, xdvi will try to display the file; otherwise it will
try to determine the MIME type of the file, and from that an
application suitable for opening the file.
This is done by parsing the files specified by the environment variable
.B EXTENSIONMAPS
for a mapping of filename extensions to MIME types,
and the files determined by the environment variable
.B MAILCAPS
for a mapping of MIME types to application programs.
See the descriptions of these variables in the section
.BR ENVIRONMENT ,
below, for a more detailed description and the default values of these
variables. If no suitable files are found, a set of built-in default
MIME types and applications is used.
.PP
Xdvi currently uses no heuristics apart from the filename suffix
to determine the mime type of a file. If a filename has no suffix,
the value of the resource
.B noMimeSuffix
is used (by default
.IR application/x-unknown ).
If the suffix doesn't match any of the suffixes in
.BR mime.types ,
the value of the resource
.B unknownMimeSuffix
is used (by default
.IR application/x-unknown ).
If the
.B mailcap
entries do not list a viewer for a given mime type, xdvi will show
a warning popup. If you want to avoid this warning, and for example
want to always use the netscape browser for unknown MIME types,
you could add the following line to your ~/.mailcap file:

.SH STRING SEARCH
The keystroke
.I Ctrl-f
or the menu entry
.I File > Find ...
(or the `Binoculars' symbol in the toolbar, for Motif)
opens a dialog window to search for a text string or
a regular expression in the DVI file.
The keystroke
.I Ctrl-g
jumps to the next match (like pressing the `Find' button in the search window).
.PP
By default, the matches are highlighted in inverted color.
If the display isn't running in TrueColor, or if the X resouce
.B matchHighlightInverted
is set to false or the command-line option
.B \-nomatchinverted
is used, xdvi will instead draw a rectangle in
.I highlight
color (see the
.B \-hl
option) around the match.
.PP
If a match crosses a page boundary, only the part on the
first page is highlighted.
.B Xdvi
will scan up to 2 adjacent pages to match strings crossing page
boundaries; but note that header or footer
lines, or intervening float pages will be treated as parts of the
scanned text. Such text will usually cause multi-page matching to fail.
.PP
This emphasizes the fact that searching in the
formatted text (the DVI output) works differently from
searching in the source text: Searching in the DVI file makes it easier to
skip formatting instructions, and makes it possible to search for e.g.
hyphenation and equation numbers; but sometimes the
formatting results can also get in the way, e.g. in the case of
footnotes. In these cases it's better to search in the \*(Te\& source
instead. The use of
.I source specials
will make switching between the
xdvi display and the editor with the \*(Te\& source easier; see the
section
.B SOURCE SPECIALS
below for more information on this.
.PP
The text extracted from the DVI file is in encoded in UTF-8
(you can view that text by saving the file in UTF-8 format via the
.I File > Save as ...
menu item).
If xdvi has been compiled with locale,
.I nl_langinfo()
and
.I iconv
support, the search term is converted from the character set
specified by the current locale into UTF-8. (See the output of
.B locale -a
for a list of locale settings available on your system).
If
.I nl_langinfo()
is not available, but
.I iconv
is, you can specify the input encoding for
.I iconv
via the X resource
.I textEncoding
(see the output of
.B iconv -l
for a list of valid encodings). If
.I iconv
support is not available, only the encodings
.I ISO-8859-1
and
.I UTF-8
are supported (these names are case-insensitive).
.PP
Ideographic characters from CJKV fonts are treated specially: All white space
(spaces and newlines) before and after such characters is ignored in
the search string and in the DVI file.
.PP
To match a newline character, use \fI\en\fR in the search string;
to match the string \fI\en\fR, use \fI\e\en\fR.
.PP
If the checkbox
.I Regular Expression
is activated, the string is treated as a regular expression in
extended POSIX syntax, with the following properties:
.RS 2
.TP 2
-
\fIa?\fR matches \fIa\fR zero or one times.
.TP
-
\fIa*\fR matches \fIa\fR zero or more times.
.TP
-
\fIa+\fR matches \fIa\fR one or more times.
Note that \fI*\fR and \fI+\fR are greedy, i.e. they match the longest possible substring.
.TP
-
The pattern \fI.\fR matches any character except for newline. To also match a newline, use `\fI(.|\en)\fR'.
.TP
-
\fIa{n}\fR matches \fIa\fR exactly n times.
.TP
-
\fIa{n,m}\fR matches \fIa\fR at least n and no more than m times.
.TP
-
\fIa|b\fR matches \fIa\fR or \fIb\fR. Brackets can be used
for grouping, e.g.: \fI(a|b)|c\fR.
.TP
-
The string matched by the nth group can be referenced by \fI\en\fR, e.g. \fI\e1\fR refers to the
first match.
.TP
-
The characters \fI^\fR and \fI$\fR match the beginning and the end of a line, respectively.
.TP
-
\fI[abc]\fR matches any of the letters a, b, c, and \fI[a-z]\fR matches all characters from a to z.
.TP
-
Each item in a regular expression can also be one of the following POSIX
character classes:
.br
.nf
.I [[:alnum:]] [[:alpha:]] [[:blank:]] [[:cntrl:]] [[:digit:]]
.I [[:graph:]] [[:lower:]] [[:print:]] [[:space:]] [[:upper:]]
.fi


These can be negated by inserting a \fI^\fR symbol after the first bracket:
.I [^[:alpha:]]

For more details on POSIX regular expressions, see e.g. the
.B IEEE Std 1003.1
standard definition available online from:

.nf

-
ignore line breaks and hyphens: This removes all hyphens at the ends
of lines and the following newline characters, and replaces all
remaining newline characters by white spaces. So hyphenated words will
appear as one word to the search, and a search for two words with a space
in between will also match the words if they are separated by a linebreak.
.br
Note that the hyphen removal may cause unwanted side effects for compound words
containing hyphens that are wrapped after the hyphen, and that replacing the
newlines affects the interpretation of regular expressions as follows:
The \fI.\fR pattern will also match newlines, and \fI^\fR and \fI$\fR won't match
begin and end of lines any more. (Since currently there is no option for turning
off the greediness of \fI*\fR and \fI+\fR, turing on this option will usually
result in matches that are longer than desired.)

.BR "Mouse Mode" ).
The default mode at startup can be customized via the X resource
.B mouseMode
or the command-line option
.BR \-mousemode .
The default startup mode is Magnifier Mode.
.PP
.B Note:
The modes are implemented by changing the
.I magnifier()
action. Switching the mode will not work if
.B Mouse-1
has been customized to an action sequence that does
not contain the magnifier() action.
.\""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.B "Magnifier Mode"
In this mode, the mouse buttons 1 to 5 pop up a ``magnifying glass''
that shows an unshrunken image of the page (i.e. an image at the resolution
determined by the option/X resource
.B pixels
or
.BR mfmode )
at varying sizes. When the magnifier is moved, small ruler-like
tick marks are displayed at the edges of the magnifier (unless
the X resource
.B delayRulers
is set to false, in which case the tick marks are always displayed).
The unit of the marks is determined by the X resource
.B tickUnits
(mm by default). This unit can be changed at runtime via the action
.BR switch-magnifier-units() ,
by default bound to the keystroke
.RB ` t '
(see the description of that key, and of switch-magnifier-units() for
more details on the units available).
.br
The length of the tick marks can be changed via the X resource
.B tickLength
(4 by default). A zero or negative value suppresses the tick marks.
.\""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.B "Text Selection Mode"
This mode allows you to select a rectangular region of text in the DVI
file by holding down
.B Mouse-1
and moving the mouse. The text is put into
the X primary selection so that it can be pasted into other X applications
with
.B Mouse-2
as usual.
.br
If xdvi has been compiled with locale,
.I nl_langinfo()
and
.I iconv
support, the selected text is converted into the character set of the
current locale (see the output of
.B locale -a
for a list of locale settings available on your system).
If
.I nl_langinfo()
is not available, but
.I iconv
is, you can specify the input encoding for
.I iconv
via the X resource
.I textEncoding
(see the output of
.B iconv -l

.I iconv
support is not available, only the encodings
.I ISO-8859-1

Note that UTF-8 is
the only encoding that can render all characters (e.g. mathematical

are replaced by `\e' followed by the hexadecimal character code.
For other encodings, such characters may trigger iconv error messages.
If a character is not recognized at all, it is replaced by `?'.

.B "Ruler Mode"
This mode provides a simple way of measuring distances on the page.
.br
When this mode is activated, the mouse cursor changes into a
thin cross, and a larger, cross-shaped ruler is drawn in the
highlight color at the mouse location. The ruler doesn't have
units attached to it; instead, the current distance between the
ruler and the mouse cursor is continously printed to the
statusline.
.br
When activating Ruler Mode, the ruler is at first attached to
the mouse and can be moved around. It can then be positioned at
a fixed place by clicking
.BR Mouse-1 .
After that, the mouse cursor
can be moved to measure the horizontal
.RI ( dx ),
vertical
.RI ( dy )
and direct (shortest)
.RI ( dr )
distance between the ruler center point and the mouse.
.br
Clicking
.B Mouse-1
again will move the ruler to the current mouse

.SH GREYSCALING AND COLORMAPS
The greyscale anti-aliasing feature in
.B xdvi
will not work at its best if the display does not have enough colors available.
This can happen if other applications are using most of the colormap
(even if they are iconified).  If this occurs, then
.B xdvi
will print an error message and turn on the
.B -copy
option.  This will result in overstrike characters appearing wrong;
it may also result in poor display quality if the number of available
colors is very small.
.PP
Typically this problem occurs on displays that allocate eight bits
of video memory per pixel.  To see how many bits per pixel your display
uses, type
.B xwininfo
in an
.B xterm
window, and then click the mouse on the root window when asked.  The
``Depth:'' entry will tell you how many bits are allocated per pixel.
.PP
Displays using at least 15 bits per pixel are typically
.B TrueColor
visuals, which do not have this problem, since their colormap is
permanently allocated and available to all applications.  (The visual
class is also displayed by
.BR xwininfo .)
For more information on visual classes see the documentation for the
X Window System.
.PP
To alleviate this problem, therefore, one may (a) run with more bits
per pixel (this may require adding more video memory or replacing the video
card), (b) shut down other applications that may be using much of the colormap
and then restart
.BR xdvi ,
or (c) run
.B xdvi
with the
.B \-install
option.
.PP
One application which is often the cause of this problem is
.BR Netscape .
In this case there are two more alternatives to remedying the situation.
One can run
.RB `` "netscape -install" ''
to cause
.B Netscape
to install a private colormap.  This can cause colors to change in
bizarre ways when the mouse is moved to a different window.
Or, one can run
.RB `` "netscape -ncols 220" ''
to limit
.B Netscape
to a smaller number of colors.  A smaller number will ensure that
other applications have more colors available, but will degrade the
color quality in the
.B Netscape
window.

.SH HANDLING OF POSTSCRIPT FIGURES
.B Xdvi

.B Kpathsea
rules.  There is an exception to this, however:  if the file name begins
with a backtick
.RB ( ` ),
then the remaining characters in the file name give a shell command (often
.BR zcat )
which is executed; its standard output is then sent to be interpreted as
PostScript.
Since the execution of arbitrary shell commands with the user's
permissions is a huge security risk, evaluation of these backtick
commands is disabled by default. It needs to be activated via the
.B \-allowshell

.B NOTE:
You should never use this option when viewing documents that you

.I .eps.gz
or
.I .eps.Z

.SH SIGNALS
When
.B xdvi
receives a
.SB SIGUSR1
signal, it rereads the
.I dvi
file.
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.B Xdvik
uses the same environment variables and algorithms for searching for
font files as \*(Te\& and friends.  See the documentation for the
.B Kpathsea
library,
.BR kpathsea.dvi ,
for a detailed description of these.
.PP
In addition,
.B xdvik
accepts the following variables:
.TP
.SB DISPLAY
Specifies which graphics display terminal to use.
#ifnokpathsea
.\"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
.TP
.SB XDVISIZES
A list of font resolutions separated by colons.  If a font cannot be found
or made at its stated size, then these sizes are tried as a fallback.
See the `Fallback font' section in the
.B Kpathsea
manual for more details.
.B xdvi
tries the actual size of the font before trying any of the given sizes.
Each font resolution should be a positive integer, specifying the number
of dots per inch, or a string of the form
.BR magstep\fIn\fP ,
where
.I n
is a number -9.5, -9, -8.5, ..., 8, 8.5, 9, or 9.5.  The string
.B magstep
may be shortened to any non-empty initial substring (so that
.B magstep0.5
may be shortened to
.B mag0.5
or
.B m0.5
(but not
.BR mag.5 )).
The entries
.BI magstep n
signify the current pixels-per-inch value, multiplied by 1.2 raised to the
.IR n th
power, and rounded to the nearest integer.
If the list begins with a colon, the system default sizes are used, as well.
Sizes are expressed in dots per inch and must be integers.
The current default set of sizes is @DEFAULT_FONT_SIZES@.

A list of files to be searched for mailcap entries, as defined by RFC

.BI test= command
The entry is only used if
.I command
can be executed via the
.B system()
call and if the system() call returns with value 0 (success).
The

string may contain the format string
.IR %s ,
which will be replaced by the file name.

.SB BROWSER
Determines the web browser used to open external links (i.e., all URLs that don't
start with the
.RI ` file: '
scheme and are not relative links in the local DVI file), and to open links
for which no viewer has been specified in the
.B mailcap
files. The value of this variable is a colon-separated list of commands. Xdvi
will try each of them in sequence until one succeeds (i.e. doesn't immediately
return with status 0). This allows you to
specify your favourite browser at the beginning,
and fallback browsers at the end. Every occurrence of
.I %s
in the string is replaced by the target URL; every occurrence of
.I %%
is replaced by a single
.IR % .
If no
.I %s
is present, the URL string is added as an extra argument.

.SH LIMITATIONS
.B xdvi
accepts many but not all types of PostScript specials accepted by
.BR dvips .
For example, it accepts most specials generated by
.B epsf
and
.BR psfig .
It does not, however, support
.B bop\-hook
or
.BR eop\-hook ,
nor does it allow PostScript commands to affect the rendering of things that
are not PostScript (for example, the ``NEAT'' and rotated ``A'' examples in the
.B dvips
manual).  These restrictions are due to the design of
.BR xdvi ;
in all likelihood they will always remain.
.PP
La\*(Te\&2e rotation specials are currently not supported.
.PP
.B MetaPost
files containing included text are not supported.
.PP
.BR Xdvi 's
color handling doesn't support the
.B \ecolorbox
and
.B \efcolorbox
macros;  this is not likely to change in the near future. This also
means that  e.g. colored tables (as created by the
.I colortbl
package) may render incorrectly: Text in colors different from the
default foreground color may not not be displayed. When the page is
redrawn (e.g. after using the magnifier), the background color of the
cells may overdraw the text.

.SH FILES

.SB $HOME/.xdvirc
A file that holds all settings that the user changed via the keys, the `Options'

This file is ignored if the
.B  \-q
option is used or the
.B noInitFile
X resource is set.

.SB xdvi.cfg
A configuration file for the T1 font setup which needs to be supplied
in the directory determined by the
